OMG, that thing is sweet, too bad the company is going under and bringing it here might be too big a risk. It would still be sick if we got both that and the true spec C here.

Wow, they managed to make it even uglier! I didn't think that was possible. It looks like a Pontiac Grand Am with an old Camaro Firebird nose.

I thought they were putting the Turbo H6 in the Legacy STi. But honestly this is all speculation at this point. To be totally honest I would probobly take the Evo MR over the STi.

Yeah yeah, AndrewSS knows whats up. Plus the thing saves 300LBS from the aluminum roof!!!!!! Thats 300lbs from the highest point of the car thus efficiently lowering the Evo MR's center of gravity which, in turn, will increase its abilty to take turns with minimal body roll. Further more the Evo MR will bring AYC and a DCCD to the table. Yup this car will be sick!

Interesting, that article notes that the engine is "a little underpowered." What exactly are their expectations for a $33k car?
